Ruby Rose Cast As First LGBTIQ Live-Action Batwoman

From MTV VJ to fully fledged actress, Ruby Rose has come a long way in the past decade.

And her next role is something to get excited about.

Rose has been officially cast as Batwoman and is joining the DC universe.

Whatmore - they have made the intentional decision to be open about the character, Kate Kane's, sexuality. Portraying her as a lesbian.

Set to first appear in the December DC crossover event, it is expected the character will then be given her own stand-alone series ala Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning and Legends of Tomorrow.
